Hey Eric--
Seem this artist's name was/is as transient as his materials! Perhaps he
would be better remembered if his stuff was still around? Tee hee hee :)

Does anyone here remember the exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of a 20th
century painter who was widely admired for his experimentation with
materials, and even admired because of the transience of the
materials he used? [forgotten the name, of course, it was in the early
90's that Brooklyn did this show] We went to this exhibition with an
artist friend who was really taken with the work, most of which had
blackened and peeled to a kind of brown mess. It stuck in my head,
not for the aesthetic pleasure, but because I had never before
encountered the idea that artists would intentionally work with
transient materials.
